FlipBelt Classic Running Belt, Running Fanny Pack for Women and Men, USA Company

This is a great product. I was skeptical of its effectiveness and value initially, but after fairly extensive use in a myriad of activities/situations, I can honestly say it was worth the money and a great buy.I have used the FlipBelt in a range of activities, including "outdoor" and sports-activities (e.g. running, hiking, snowboarding, biking, and even swimming in pools and the ocean) and it's worked excellently. I've also used it when attending concerts, trade shows, and even a multi-day music festival- it's worked well in those situations also.One use-case that I hadn't originally considered when I purchased the FlipBelt was "casual everyday use," though I've been particularly happy with the FlipBelt using it in that manner. To clarify, typically, I carry quite a few items around with me everyday (e.g. A full set of keys, two smartphones, a bunch of cards, maybe some cash, sometimes lip balm, and sometimes more). With the most comfortable clothing I own (or formal/dressy clothing for that matter), I simply can't carry those items (not well, anyway)- said items carry awkwardly, noisily, and sometimes uncomfortably. In addition, often-times, the outline of those items in my pockets looks terrible, and certainly stunts efforts of "trying to look nice or dress-up." With a FlipBelt, I literally wear whatever I want to wear- comfortable, classy, slimmer-fitting, no-pockets, loose and light, whatever- owning a FlipBelt, I can comfortably carry around any or all of the items I usually carry- bulky or not. (The FlipBelt is actually fairly inconspicuous, even when worn with "less forgiving" clothing, and it remains so for me, even when I'm using it to carry "all my stuff.")After owning one for a while, the FlipBelt has easily worked its way into my regular wardrobe- its too convenient and common-sense an "accessory" to NOT use, at least for me anyway.I no longer have to pick out an outfit for any activity based on how many pockets I'll need, or how much stuff I'll be carrying around. The FlipBelt stretches well to accommodate all manner of "cargo," and it holds it all well, in-place, without causing discomfort. A smartphone such as an iPhone 5s, for example, fits very easily, and an iPhone 6 or Samsung S5 or S6 fit also, though with a little stretching- it's still fairly easy to slide those phones into and out of the FlipBelt "pockets," however. I haven't tried a Samsung Note 4 or the iPhone 6L, but I have little doubt that those types of phones could be carried in a FlipBelt, though with those "phablets," there would obviously be a bit more stretching. Quickly removing or storing something like a Note 4 or a iPhone 6L (while wearing the FlipBelt) would be a little bit more cumbersome, too, I imagine, but certainly still do-able.The built-in key-clip/lanyard is a fantastic feature, and it ensures that you won't lose your keys/key-chain, regardless of the activity you're doing. The clip is also very handy for things like work/resort/casino/hotel key-cards, access-cards, and discount-cards, provided they have some kind of hole punched through them or some other method of attachment. To me, it makes sense to punch a hole into most of my cards (away from any integrated security-chips or magnetic-strips) so that I could "key-chain them together," or otherwise secure them when necessary- the FlipBelt's key-clip/lanyard feature is quite nice for that purpose. The lanyard portion is also (for me) just the right length and "stretchiness"- it's not so short that you can't even get the keys out of the belt, and the lanyard length also happens to make it easier to "fish the keys out" of the FlipBelt, by pulling on the lanyard itself.Even when carrying a bunch of items (like the example "cargo" I listed above), the FlipBelt is still surprisingly comfortable- the material it's made of breathes well, it's fairly durable and retains "stretchiness" well, it washes easily when necessary and whole belt dries relatively quickly when washed or taken swimming. Further, (as long as it's sized correctly) the FlipBelt feels almost invisible while worn directly against skin, or even when it's worn over other clothes.The continuous "wrap-around" design of the FlipBelt's "pocket" allows for "adjusting" the placement of carried items without requiring that the belt be removed. The ability to "adjust" the placement and orientation of carried items throughout the FlipBelt's wrap-around pocket, and through its cloth, while still being worn, makes it easy to "flatten" a loaded-up FlipBelt for appearance and comfort purposes. It is due to this ability to "adjust" carried items that I find the FlipBelt able to stay relatively inconspicuous in many outfits, for many activities, and a wide-range of carrying-ability, all while being quite comfortable. To me, the ability to make said "adjustments" to carried items while the belt is still worn, is a critically-important design-aspect that should not be overlooked.A Few Considerations:I originally had reservations about the design of the FlipBelt, since it doesn't "come-apart" like a belt (there is no buckle, velcro, or zipper)- you don the FlipBelt by sliding it over your head and down your body, or the opposite-way- that seemed like an hassle to me at first; like it was a design-oversight, or a bean-counter eliminating features or some other cynical explanation.In using the FlipBelt, I must say that it's design allows it to be light, comfortable, non-chaffing, easy to rotate-around your body, inconspicuous, and durable. I doubt, now, that having something like a buckle or zipper would have improved the design- in fact, I think it would have detracted quite a bit from my positive experience with the FlipBelt thus-far.Even when considering the design of the FlipBelt's pocket-openings (there are four, evenly spaced around the belt, if I recall correctly)- they have no closing-mechanism; no zippers, no Velcro, no buckles, but the FlipBelt still contains all of my stuff well nonetheless. The explanation for this lies in the ability to store items into the wrap-around pocket of the FlipBelt, and then literally flipping the belt inside-out while wearing it- this faces the four pocket-openings of the FlipBelt snugly up against the wearer's body, thus preventing the FlipBelt's contents from falling-out (provided the belt is sized correctly to the wearer).[Incidentally, I believe the suggested waist-sizes are relatively accurate, or at least it was in my case. I don't believe that FlipBelts should be considered to "run large" or "run small," but of course, your mileage may vary.][Disclaimer: I am not in any way whatsoever affiliated with or compensated-by either Amazon, any FlipBelt resellers, nor the FlipBelt manufacturer.

I was looking for a way to keep my phone with me while working out. I knew about armbands, but really didn't like the idea of having my phone wrapped around my arm (just doesn't seem very comfortable to me). Plus, I didn't really want to end up with an armband tan if I used the armband outside. The only other thing I could think of was a fanny-pack type belt (attractive, eh?), or a belt made only for phones (meaning it couldn't hold anything else). While searching for something like that, I happened upon the FlipBelt.The idea of the FlipBelt is fantastic. It has all the benefits of a fanny pack without the bulk and...well, let's face it, the fanny pack is just not something I want to invest in. The FlipBelt is snug, hides easily under the bottom of your shirt, and actually is attractive thanks to the slim profile and awesome colors. I have used it a few times while using the elliptical and doing other workouts, and it stays in place very well. My phone is VERY secure. If you're still concerned about the phone (or whatever else you put in it), you can flip it over (hence the name) and it will keep everything in place without having to worry.Another big benefit of the FlipBelt is the fact that it can be used in situations other than working out/running. I see this coming in very handy for hiking, traveling, going to a concert, etc. It's discreet, safe, can hold a fair amount of stuff (phone, cash, credit card, key, etc.), and is comfortable. It is also easy to wash. I threw mine in the washing machine with similar clothes, and hung it to dry, and it is perfectly fine.For sizing, I would recommend reading through reviews to find out what other people have ordered. If I had ordered based on the sizing chart, mine would have been too big to stay on well. I am 5'7" and weigh about 135, and ordered a small. A medium probably could work, too, if I wanted it a little less snug.Bottom line - if you work out regularly and need a place to stash your phone/keys/money, stop searching and buy the FlipBelt.

I love this product. Ever since I began running, I found this product to suit my needs for storage. I run with my keys, phone and earbuds in a case. And it holds almost everything securely.On my last run, my earbuds case ended up slipping out from the side and I gave it a good kick as it flew out. The case is a smooth and oval-shaped. And sometimes as I run, the position of this case will shift as I run and will ultimately slip out of it's pocket. Most of the time, I'll nail the positioning and it'll stay secure on my hip. But having that case slip out and hit the ground has been a fear of mine. Picking the case back up is a sudden stop. I run at a local park with bikers and other runners, so I worry that my earbuds falling out could create a really bad situation depending on the circumstances.I stopped, picked up the case (which had no damage thankfully!) and stored it in my zipper pocket for my running shorts. 9 times out of 10 this isn't an issue during a run, but I know the possibility is there. So I occasionally touch my earbuds on my hip just to make sure they haven't fallen out while I run. It's one of those things that doesn't seem like it, but it's really distracting and takes me out of my zone. i do not have peace of mind as I run.This isn't a knock at the product itself, but I will say it's enough of a problem to shift over to the zippered version.Bad experience aside, it's form-fitting, very comfortable and stores my other items perfectly! I'd easily suggest it, but would offer my anecdote as to why one should consider getting the zipper version instead if you're going to purchase it.What I do appreciate, is the fact that this running belt has opened up my wardrobe choices for running. I don't have to get zipper-pocket shorts and can buy gear that's thinner and more comfortable. It's a godsend for the colder weather where I prefer to wear tights.I think for most use-cases the original version will suit your needs well.

Buen producto, tiene buen material y si te todo al correr no lastima y no te hace sudar, lo puedes poner bajo la playera y no se ve. 10/10
